According to Agritourism #Ontario, “Agritourism in Ontario generates $633 million in annual economic output, making it one of the most important contributors to the province’s rural economy.” Farmland supports the economy. #HandsOffOurFarmland #Cooksmills #Welland #StopTheSprawl

Did you know this is currently agricultural land and woodlot that is home to a ton of wildlife? It will cost $20+ million of taxpayer money to make this into farmland. Email [email protected] if you support the preservation of farmland and think $20 million is better spent.

Hey @CAANiagara can we nominate Buchner Rd in @Welland for worst road? Disrepair courtesy of @CNRailway. Reached out to [email protected] over a month ago - still no response. A number of spikes up several inches and huge gaps along tracks. Crossing is treacherous! #worstRoad
#Welland won’t be paving over paradise after all ...
